 | TOS my *ss Point 1: ISP speed measurement would have NOTHING to do with congestion - EVER. It would be a speed measurement from you ISP's CO to your modem. Traffic should have no bearing on line speed. Line speed should be as advertised regardless of the amount of traffic on that line. ( and properly measured I'd bet the line speed varies very little ) Point 2: My service with SBC is a 384 - 1500 ranged service and I expect at least 384 ALL THE TIME. ( not getting it but I'm bitching ) Point 3: Comparing metering DSL to gas pumps and electricity is a slippery slope. That brings with it a per minute or per MB charging structure. I sure don't want that! |
